An appointment with the Mage-Lord.
Jared can sense the fulfillment of his destiny approaching as he rushes through the cobbled streets with his blue mage robes flapping behind him. The kingdom of Galdavia prizes the mage gift above all others.
And Jared takes pride in his abilities. He knows he belongs at the Mage-Lord’s side.
Nothing can come between him and his rightful place.
